Title
dreamspeak Live at Barnard Springfest on 1989-04-14
description
An incredibly hot show that will make a believer out of you! This one starts strong and never lets up. Along the way you've got a guest shot by John Popper (Blues Traveler also played at Springfest that day - you can find their set on the LMA as well) as well as one by Michelle Lewis, a very popular singer at Columbia/Barnard at the time. Song selection is fairly standard for the time (which is to say excellent), with some real standouts ("Late To Rise" is my happy place). And then there's the playing. Oh my, the playing. The band is just on fire. If you already know this show, well, you know. If you're hearing this for the first time, you're in for a serious treat. Note that "The Van Song" is missing from the start of Set 2. Someone just might have cut it to save space on his cassette. At first, the idea was to digitize some cassettes for personal use, but a dreamspeak fan within the live music archivist community stepped in to provide a quality transfer and formatting.  Given that the masters for this show are available, this source should be removed when said masters are transferred. Hopefully, that will happen before they disintegrate. In the meantime, here is part of the band's legacy.
